Dining at JOIA El Mirador by Iberostar is all about elegant settings and long, leisurely meals with an Atlantic backdrop.

El Mirador Restaurant
The main buffet restaurant serves a generous spread of hot and cold dishes for breakfast and dinner, with show-cooking stations and both local Canarian and international favourites. Expect fresh fruit, pastries and juices in the morning, plus grilled meats, fish and vegetarian choices in the evening. Smart dress is requested (no beachwear; long trousers for gentlemen).

El Cenador Restaurant
An adults-only à la carte venue for refined local cuisine at breakfast and dinner. Open five days per week, it’s the place for a slower, more intimate dining experience with waiter service and creative plates that make the most of island produce. Reservations are recommended; supplements may apply depending on your board basis.

La Pérgola Restaurant
A relaxed à la carte restaurant by the pool, serving international dishes for lunch and dinner – ideal for long lunches in swimwear (with a cover-up) or casual evenings al fresco. The atmosphere is informal but chic, and dress code guidelines still apply in the evening.

Bars
You’ll find two characterful bars: La Tosca Bar in the lobby for aperitifs, coffee and after-dinner drinks (typically 10:00–00:00), and Las Pardelas Snack Bar by the pool for light bites and daytime drinks (usually 11:00–18:00).

Please note: a smart dress code may apply and facilities or opening times may vary by season. Reservations may be required and a supplement may be payable depending on board arrangement. Information is based on a previous season and subject to change. What All Inclusive typically includes.

The hotel’s centrepiece is its sweeping outdoor freshwater lagoon-style pool, shimmering like a mirror amid palm trees and terracotta archways. The main pool is heated (seasonally), with integrated whirlpool sections for a little extra indulgence, and generous sunbathing areas lined with sunbeds, Balinese beds and parasols.

There’s also an additional plunge pool and a more exclusive outdoor freshwater pool with two whirlpools reserved for Star Prestige guests – the perfect spot for a quieter swim and elevated views. Pool towels are complimentary.

Beyond the gardens, a gate leads directly to Playa del Duque, a golden-sand Blue Flag beach lapped by typically calm Atlantic waters. The seafront promenade connects you to other nearby beaches and beach clubs, so you can easily explore on foot.
